The Seattle Seahawks got the ball first in this | Forum

 Pond in London’s Wembley Stadium. Their first drive was a doozy Derek Carr Jersey White , they went 86 yards in 14 plays which took 7:36 of game clock. They eventually scored on a 5 yard pass to WR Jaron Brown to make it 7-0 Seattle. The biggest play was a 23 yard catch that got them down to the 2, otherwise they just nickel and dimed their way down the field most of the time with short gains of 3 to 4 yards throughout the drive.The Raiders response to that long touchdown drive was to go 3 and out very quickly. However, the defense came up with a big 3rd down pass deflection at the line of scrimmage by Maurice Hurst to force a Seahawks punt this time around. The Oakland offense managed to get a couple of first downs on their next drive but a strip sack on 3rd down ended the drive. The ball should have been easily recovered by LT Kolton Miller but he dove and landed directly on the football which then squirted away to be recovered by a Seahawk at the Oakland 24. Seattle scored a few plays later on 3rd and 5 on a 19 yard pass to David Moore to make the score 14-0. The shotgun snap was bobbled on the touchdown play but Russell Wilson corralled the ball and still managed to throw the touchdown pass anyway. The Raiders added injury to insult on their next drive when Amari Cooper was laid out by an illegal helmet to helmet hit that the refs somehow missed despite the league emphasis on removing hits exactly like that. Cooper was able to walk away after a few moments but headed straight for the locker room to be checked for a possible/probable (confirmed) concussion. It was 3rd and 20 after that when Derek Carr hit Jalen Richard who sprinted for a big first down. They then got a 15 yard facemask to negate a sack on the next play to Seattle’s side of the 50 for the first time of the day. They then got two more 3rd down conversions after that as well, one on a pass to Jared Cook and one from a scrambling Derek Carr. They couldn’t continue the magic next time though, they gave up a sack on their next 3rd down. The sack was huge because Matt McCain missed the 48 yard field goal so the score remained 14-0.Oakland forced Seattle to punt for the first time on the next drive, though thanks in part to the loose turf causing Seattle’s WR Doug Baldwin to slip before getting the easy first down on 3rd down. They didn’t take advantage of it though, they got to the Seattle 41but failed to convert on a 4th and inches QB sneak attempt. They tried to rush to the line to surprise the Seahawks but they got stuffed short for the turnover on downs.The Seahawks got the ball back with 39 seconds in the half and immediately got into scoring position with a 28 yard pass to the Oakland 31. They’d only get a few yards closer before attempting a field goal in the closing seconds of the game. Former Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski kicked the 44 yard field goal good to close the half with a 17-0 Seattle lead.Oakland got the ball first to start the 2nd half, starting at the 25 after a touchback on the kick. A one yard run and a sack led to a 3rd down play that featured Kolton Miller being knocked over backwards into Derek Carr who simply dropped the football while being sacked on the play. Carr’s second lost fumble of the day gave Seattle the ball at the Oakland 11. The Raiders defense did hold Seattle to a 26 yard field goal at least, partly in thanks to an Arden Key sack. The field goal made the score 20-0.The Raiders offense still could not get anything going and had to punt again. Once again Derek Carr could have scrambled for a first down on a 3rd down play for the Raiders but instead attempted a difficult throw to Jordy Nelson that fell incomplete to force the Raiders punt. Seattle looked primed to add to their 20-0 lead after the punt with a couple of 1st downs and a 42 yard pass to Doug Baldwin down to the Raiders 11. However, Russell Wilson threw into a crowd on the next play and Daryl Worley came away with an interception on a deflected pass. They did nothing with the turnover though and a bad punt from Johnny Townsend left the Seahawks starting their next drive at their own 38. This time Seattle wouldn’t be stopped as they went down for another score. They scored with a great throw from Russell Wilson on a 10 yard Tyler Lockett touchdown reception to make the score 27-0. The drive covered 49 yards in 8 plays but featured a questionable lowering the head penalty on Raiders LB Bruce Irvin who literally did a flip trying to avoid a sliding Russell Wilson but still got called for an added 15 yard penalty on the play.Oakland finally got on the board on their next drive, though it was just a field goal to make score 27-3. The 12 play, 51 yard drive at least kept the Raiders from being shut out. The longest play was 15 yards as they drove down for the 43 yard field goal. However, they lost Seth Roberts to a concussion on the drive and Derek Carr landed awkwardly on his left arm as well in what looked like a possible injury to the QB though he appeared ok afterwards on the sidelines.Seattle got the ball back with just over 8 minutes left in the 4th quarter and quite impressively (and mercifully) proceeded to run the rest of the game clock out. Final score in this one was an ugly 27-3 loss in London.Raiderdamus’ Friday Foretelling: Raiders vs. Seahawks We are required to inform you that these Foretellings are works of satire and are not for the faint of heart. Due to their content they should not be read by anyone. Please enjoy at your own risk. -The EditorGreetings, Raider Nation! It is I, the man of the hour, the tower of power too sweet to be sour, using 500 horsepower to make fools run and cower, Raiderdamus the Great and Powerful. The Raiders may be a little disappointing this year, but Raiderdamus and the Great Beyond will never let you down. With the goal in mind of edifying and entertaining each and every one of you as I do every week, I’ve once again entreated the aid of the Great Beyond to give us a clue as to the fate of the Raiders this week. The message I received is as follows. Fall on your faces, o mortals, and cower in fear and trepidation:“You’re back again! All that optimism you had about the Raiders’ season has to be down the tubes now. But you keep summoning me, and because I have nothing better to do I’ll keep sending these messages. Who are you playing this week? The Seahawks? And where is the game? Oh, that’s gotta suck.The people of Seattle like everything fast and convenient, except their commutes. They are busy folks, and don’t have time to wait to use a bathroom when walking down the street or find a trash can when shooting up heroin on the sidewalk. It’s for this reason that they’ve exchanged the quality of decent coffee for Starbucks and the wholesome goodness of actual food for 7-11. There are Clelin Ferrell Oakland Raiders Jersey , in fact, 44 7-11 locations in the greater Seattle area. But 7-11 is the finest Seattle can hope for, because the Seahawks are 5-11 at best. This year, that might be good enough for second place in the NFC West.The Seahawks have two things going for them at this point, Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll. They will have to shell out big bucks to keep Wilson past 2019, but surely they don’t fear Carroll’s departure. It’s not like he’s known for jumping ship and bolting as soon as his team starts to fall apart and the heat gets turned up.

He does a ton of charity work with sick kids in the Seattle area at children’s hospitals. But those kids need to get some perspective, because cancer will treat them far better than the Seahawks ever will.Photo by Michael Buckner/Getty Images for Celebrity Fight NightIf you ever have the misfortune of finding yourself in the Seattle area, you will see plenty of people wearing Seattle #12 jerseys that say “MAN” on the nameplate. This is because Seattleites are not true fans and don’t know the names of any of their players, and so their favorite Seahawks player is... themselves.Photo by Elsa/Getty ImagesOkay first of all Susan, you don’t play for the Seahawks so sit the fuck down. You’re not a part of the team, you pay to sit in the stands and yell in the rain. I mean, Raider fans have Raider Nation, and it’s important to dress up and act crazy, but we don’t make jerseys that are essentially masturbatory fantasies about being part of the team. On the contrary, the chief purpose of Raider Nation is to scare the ever-living shit out of all opposing fans. The only people Seattle fans scare are the poor Colombian slaves who harvest their coffee.Seattle’s weather is such garbage, it doesn’t even make sense to have a football team there. Maybe the Seahawks should move to a nicer part of the country. Somewhere warmer and drier, with some clay instead of mud. Somewhere like Oklahoma City. Why, that would be just super! I’m almost to the goal line here, but it’s getting tiresome and predictable to keep running these jokes down your throat, so maybe I should just pass.But I have to give it to Seattle fans, they are some of the most longsuffering people in the country. They support the Mariners unfailingly, and despite holding the record for most wins in a season and some of the best players in baseball history (Randy Johnson, Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey Jr. and Ichiro Suzuki) Cheap Clelin Ferrell Jersey , they have never won shit and will never win shit. The Seahawks actually have won a Super Bowl, and every Seahawk fan was allowed to stay up well past their bedtime by their mommy and daddy to watch as they trounced Denver to win it. The following year, when they were in third grade, they also got to stay up to watch Seattle lose to New England.The Seahawks have had some truly tremendous players in their history. Steve Largent, Chris Warren, Kenny Easley, Shaun Alexander, Walter Jones, Cortez Kennedy. Of course, no true Seahawk fan is old enough to remember any of them. But Raider fans remember one Seahawk great in particular:People say the Seahawks’ offensive line is terrible, but I beg to differ. I’ve never seen a line shut down the running game the way they can, it’s uncanny. And I’ve never seen a defensive line protect the quarterback the way theirs does. Seattle’s drafting is so bad, it makes the Cardinals look like the Vikings. They had one good draft in 2012 and have been riding it ever since. This year, they drafted Rashaad Penny, one of the best rushers in college football history, but in their infinite wisdom have made the undrafted Chris Carson their featured back. Prized second-round pick Malik McDowell did more damage in the back of a cop car than he did on the field.This game will be played in London, a market the NFL values so highly they send the Jaguars over there each year. It’s a country whose football hooligans in every stadium make the Black Hole look like Augusta National. They sing racist songs and shoot flares onto the field while both teams take turns not scoring- just like a Jaguars game! England has a long history with raiders, having first been pillaged by the Norsemen in AD 793. The Seattle defense is pillow-soft and should put up just as much fight as did the monks of Lindisfarne.The Seahawks don’t have many of the things which once made them the most feared team in the league. They don’t have a competent secondary, a fierce four-man pass rush, or innovative schemes on either side of the ball. But what they do have, is Bobby Wagner and Russell Wilson, and on Sunday, that might just be enough.Seahawks win, 26-16.”
